Chapter 704: Returning to the Peach Village, Speculating on Gu Changge’s ident.i.ty

“It’s Sister Xian’er, Sister Xian’er is back.” Peach Village was not big, and the few children playing at the entrance of the village saw Gu Changge and Gu Xian’er.

They cheered in surprise and hurried over to greet Gu Xian’er. Although Gu Changge had only been here once, they were no strangers to him. The last time Gu Changge came to the Peach Village, he gave them many toys and spiritual fruits to help them practice. So they had a good impression of this young man who looked like a banished immortal.

“Xiao Hua, Xiao Hu, you have grown taller.” Once Gu Xian’er returned to Peach Village, she changed her previous cold appearance and greeted several children with a smile on her face.

A few villagers at the entrance of the village also came over. They were very pleasantly surprised, and greeted Gu Xian’er. It had been a long time since Gu Xianer returned to Peach Village. They also missed Gu Xian’er very much.

“Xian’er, this girl still knows how to return to see us old men.” Several old people gathered around with kind smiles and ambiguous eyes as they kept turning around Gu Changge and Gu Xian’er.

This made Gu Xian’er somewhat ashamed and annoyed as she gave them a hard look.

“Greetings Mr. Gu.” However, they also were aware Gu Changge’s ident.i.ty, so they didn’t dare to be too presumptuous, and displayed him a little courtesy.

“You are all relatives of Xian’er, so you don’t need to be polite.” Gu Changge seemed indifferent to this. He had a slight smile on his face all the time.

Soon, several masters of Gu Xian’er also appeared from the village. They were still as inscrutable as before, lame or blind, each with different injuries. In fact, at this level, it was easy for a powerhouse to be reborn with a drop of blood.

Only some extremely serious injury to the Dao or the origin would always exist. Then it would be difficult to regenerate limbs. However, these masters of Gu Xian’er all had their own experiences and stories. They didn’t want to let the broken limbs and lame legs heal just like that.

“Great master, Second master, Third master… Xian’er is back to see you.” Gu Xian’er obediently greeted each master one by one, changing the arrogant and cold appearance she had in front of Gu Changge.

“Xian’er, your cultivation has improved a lot…”

“It seems that you encountered many opportunities during this time.”

The masters measured up Gu Xian’er several times with admiration on their faces, confirming that she had not slackened in her cultivation during this period. They were extremely satisfied.

As for Gu Changge on the side, in their view now, he had reached the point where they couldn’t see clearly through him. They couldn’t figure it out, and were even afraid to some extent.

They knew when Gu Changge first arrived at Peach Village, his cultivation was even at the Supreme Realm. But in just a few short years, he was already standing at the pinnacle of the Upper Realm, and even the Enlightened beings were no longer his opponents.

It made them feel incredible. Even though they had seen quite a few Enlightened beings, they had never seen such a monstrous cultivator as Gu Changge.

“Greetings to several seniors.” Gu Changge also behaved very naturally. He bowed slightly to Gu Xian’er’s masters, and then looked at the village seriously again.

Compared to the last time he came, now he could perceive the strength of Gu Xianer and these masters more clearly, almost all of them had the strength of Enlightened beings.

Among them, the village head, who was Gu Xianer’s Great master, was the most terrifying. Compared with Yan Luo, the Fourth Hall Master of h.e.l.l, Ah Er, was not much worse.

This was a person of the same generation as the Great Elder of Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace. If the world allowed it, he could definitely take the last step.

For many Immortal forces and Supreme sects in the outside world, if they knew that there was such a terrifying village hidden in the deepest part of this land abandoned by Immortals.

Not to mention that there was a coquettish and mysterious Peach Tree at the gate of the village.

“Master… Master…”

And at this moment, in Peach Village, a little girl in a colorful jacket came running over in surprise. Her facial features were exquisite and picturesque, her skin was as white as porcelain, and she wore a shofar braid. Her pair of black and crystal eyes were revealing a delicate meaning, making her even cuter.

It was Yaoyao, the apprentice that Gu Changge took in when he was in the Lower Realm. After he brought Yaoyao to the Upper Realm, he fostered her in Peach Village, and never cared about her afterward.

Of course, the one reason was that Yaoyao and the Peach Demon at the entrance of the village were of the same origin. The two were like sisters, living here together was also a peaceful and happy thing for Yaoyao.

Looking at Yaoyao running toward him, compared to before, Yaoyao still hadn’t grown much. Gu Changge displayed a gentle expression on his face as he squatted down, stroked her head, and replied, “I haven’t had time to see Yaoyao, Yaoyao wouldn’t blame Master, would she?”

“No, no, Yaoyao didn’t blame Master. Although Yaoyao misses Master, she knows that Master is very busy and has no time to visit Yaoyao. Yaoyao has a very good life in Peach Village. The uncles and aunts in the village are very kind to me, and Yaoyao has a sister here, so she lives happily every day.”

The little girl’s face was still as well-behaved and sensible as before with a happy smile as she said so, making people feel pitiful.

“It’s good that Yaoyao likes being here. Look at what Master has brought you.” Gu Changge smiled gently, and a brilliance flashed in his hand as he spoke.

All of a sudden, there were many mortal toys, trinkets, and all kinds of delicious cakes and spiritual fruits. Looking at these things, Yaoyao’s eyes suddenly brightened a lot, and they bent into crescent moons happily.

“Thank you, Master.” She was not interested in spiritual cultivation, and living a carefree life was her only pursuit.

Therefore, Gu Changge did not bring her many things about cultivation.

Afterward, the little girl shared her life in Peach Village during the recent years. She also distributed the various little things that Gu Changge brought her to many children in Peach Village.

Gu Changge could tell that she was indeed very happy in Peach Village, and everyone treated her very well. During the period, Taoyao also took her to the Lower Realm where she lived before and found the mother-in-law who adopted her back then.

It was a pity that Yaoyao’s mother-in-law didn’t want to come to the Upper Realm. At first, her relatives were slaughtered by the enemies, and after her revenge, she guarded the graves of her relatives. Because of the arrival of Gu Changge and Gu Xian’er, Peach Village became extremely lively.

Many old people and aunts took out their own fine wines to treat the two of them. Although the Land of Abandoned Immortals was desolate, the most indispensable thing outside was all kinds of beasts and meat.

Gu Changge and Gu Xian’er had long been used to eating all delicacies from mountains and seas, delicacies of immortality. But tasting meat cooked in other ways in Peach Village had a special flavor.

The Peach Tree at the entrance of the village was ostentatious. The petals were crystal clear and coquettish, and when the breeze blew, strands of immortal ribbons hung down.

As night fell, the bonfire went faint, even Gu Xian’er had drunk a lot of wine, showing a charming expression. She rolled up the sleeves of her skirt, revealing the flawless arms of white and tender snow while tearing up the meat of those fierce beasts. She didn’t look the same as cold as an immortal. There seemed to be sparkling water in those big eyes, reflecting the campfire and Gu Changge’s face.

She seemed to be staring at Gu Changge blankly, as if thinking of something, there was an unconcealable glow on her little face.

“Gu Changge, you are not allowed to bully me again…” The words were indistinct as if muttering in a low voice.

Many villagers around couldn’t help laughing when they heard this. Even Gu Xianer’s masters smiled. Because of the tragic experience in their childhood, they loved and spoiled Gu Xian’er a lot.

The last time Gu Changge returned to Peach Village with her, they were still worried whether Gu Xian’er was threatened by Gu Changge. Gu Changge was the chief culprit who dug out her Dao bone when she was young and had almost killed her.

She didn’t care about it at all, but she was very close to Gu Changge. Though later, from Tao Yao’s mouth, they learned that Gu Changge had an innate demonic heart, and what he did when he was a child was actually not under his control. But they were still wary of Gu Changge.

“Are you drunk?” Seeing Gu Xian’er leaning towards him, Gu Changge shook his head speechlessly.

“I’m not drunk.” Gu Xian’er glared at him as if she was very dissatisfied with Gu Changge’s disdain for herself.

Gu Changge sighed, took out a clean handkerchief, and gently wiped off the oil stains from the corners of her mouth.

“I am warning you, don’t bully me in the future.” She closed her eyes slightly, muttered again, and found a comfortable position to lean against Gu Changge.

“Maybe, but don’t provoke me.” Gu Changge smiled.

However, Gu Xian’er ignored him. She soon let out a slight and steady breathing sound, holding a piece of the oily thigh of a fierce beast in her hand before she grabbed Gu Changge’s sleeve without thinking about anything, smearing all the oil stains on it.

Everyone in Peach Village looked at this scene, and they were really frightened. Although they had never been to the outside world, occasionally they could meet some casual cultivators while hunting and learn some news about the outside world from their mouths.

How terrifying was Gu Changge’s power now?

Enlightened beings would be trembling and fidgeting in front of him, who would dare to be as presumptuous as Gu Xian’er? However, Gu Changge had long been accustomed to this, drinking with a calm expression.

The night was getting darker and the moon was dim, making Peach Village even quieter and more peaceful. The bonfire dissipated, and many villagers returned to their homes one after another.

Gu Xian’er was taken to rest by several aunts as she was still in a deep sleep. After returning to Peach Village, her whole body was at peace. She didn’t need to think or worry about anything, and it was rare to have a good rest.

“Aren’t you going to come out to see me?” Gu Changge didn’t take a break but instead walked toward the entrance of the village unhurriedly with a wine gla.s.s in one hand and a jug in the other.

Then, ignoring the astonished gazes of Gu Xian’er and his masters, he sat down on a stone beside it. He seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually talking to Taoyao.

Clatter!!

Under the blowing of the breeze, the leaves flew lightly, making a sound like a wave. The Peach Tree looked more and more crystal clear, and every petal of the peach blossom hid the chaotic atmosphere. A fog descended, and it soon enveloped the surroundings, making the old monsters in Peach Village unable to see the scene clearly.

They also looked away tactfully and didn’t look at it. Taoyao’s cultivation was even more unfathomable. As the Guardian of Peach Village, she was definitely not someone they could spy on. Usually, even the village head treated Taoyao with great respect.

A magnificent blurred figure slowly emerged from the Peach Tree, with a slender figure. It seemed that there were three thousand divine kingdoms around her, hazy and sacred that had a strange feeling.

“Long time no see.” The Peach Demon appeared with a glow surging from her long black hair, the light could be seen, and she looked at Gu Changge with glazed eyes, revealing complicated meanings.

Gu Changge felt that there seemed to be other meanings in her words. This phrase, “no harm, no foul” suddenly made many pictures flash in his mind like lightning. To be precise, it was not a picture, but a figure. This was not a person, but a goblin.

It was hugging her knees and sat in the endless wilderness, with a dead Peach Tree behind her. She was born beautiful. The long black hair was like a bright mirror, and the light could be used as a guide.

She was looking at the sea of clouds, the clear sky and mountains were reflected in her pupils, but her expression was still lonely as if she was waiting for someone.

Gu Changge knew that this figure was the Peach Demon in front of him. She was a rare friend of Chan Hong Yi, who was once brought back by Chan Hong Yi to the mountain where the Demon Lord lived and was planted beside a bluestone.

Before the Forbidden Era, she blocked the blow of the Demon Lord for Chan Hong Yi, she was severely injured and almost died. After various coincidences, she became the Guardian of the Peach Village.

Perhaps because of Yaoyao’s relationship, Taoyao seemed to remember a lot of things now compared to the last time Gu Changge saw her. But Taoyao was different from Chan Hong Yi, she didn’t seem to have too much hatred for the Demon Lord.

“Aren’t you going to meet your old friend?” Gu Changge poured a gla.s.s of wine with a calm expression and drank it on his own.

Taoyao looked at him with a slightly complicated look, knowing that the old friend Gu Changge was talking about was Chan Hong Yi who had escaped from the Demon Burying Abyss.

Up to now, she actually didn’t know Gu Changge’s ident.i.ty, was it the reincarnation of the Demon Lord, or what?

If it was really the Demon Lord. Then why would the Demon Lord who pushed everything horizontally and buried the entire era into darkness eventually reincarnate?

One must know, when she was just an extremely weak little demon, the Demon Lord stood at the pinnacle of the entire world, his cultivation was unpredictable and unspeakable.

Even if she became Immortal later and went further in this realm, she still felt that she was as small as dust in front of the Demon Lord. In fact, if the Demon Lord really wanted to kill Chan Hong Yi, it wouldn’t take much effort at all.

It was absolutely impossible for her strength to be able to stop the Demon Lord’s blow. How many secrets did this hide?

Taoyao really wanted to ask Gu Changge all of this in person. But she still didn’t know in what capacity Gu Changge was talking to her.

She was able to make it this far, and it all depended on the guidance of the Demon Lord at the beginning.

Otherwise, she was just a little ordinary Peach Demon, and she didn’t have much talent, let alone reach the Immortal Realm, and move so far in this realm.
